  app:
    image: adhocore/lemp:7.4
    # For different app you can use different names. (eg: )
    container_name: some-app
    volumes:
      # app source code
      - ./meme:/var/www/html
      # db data persistence
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
      # Here you can also volume php ini settings
      # - /path/to/zz-overrides:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/zz-overrides.ini
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: supersecurepwd
      MYSQL_DATABASE: appdb
      MYSQL_USER: dbusr
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: securepwd
      # for postgres you can pass in similar env as for mysql but with PGSQL_ prefix

volumes:
  db_data: {}

2. Then compose

docker-compose up -d

3. Navigate to meme folder (volume), then clone my repo, navigate to meme-generator and then change to docker branch

cd meme
git clone https://github.com/gabrielkheisa/meme-generator.git
cd meme-generator
git checkout docker

4. Bash into container, to run it as detached output (in background) use screen

screen

docker exec -u root -t -i some-app /bin/bash

5. Login to MySQL as root with the password supersecurepwd

mysql -u root -p

6. Create table meme and meme_ronaldo in appdb database, then allow dbusr to access it

USE appdb;
CREATE TABLE meme (
id INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
session VARCHAR(20),
status INT(1),
timestamp TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
value TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
CREATE TABLE meme_ronaldo (
id INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
session VARCHAR(20),
status INT(1),
timestamp TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
value TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON appdb.* TO 'dbusr'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
exit;
